JUNIOR COACH ACADEMY
The Junior Coach Academy is for minors who assist cheer coaches or dance instructors. This program provides a structured pathway for young coaches to develop skills and build confidence under the guidance of seasoned adult coaches and professionals in the spirit industry.
Curriculum progresses each year the Junior Coach attends:
- First-year Junior Coach attendees focus on learning their role as an assistant to the adult coach.
- Second-year Junior Coach attendees expand their skills and take on additional responsibilities.
- Third-year Junior Coach attendees prepare for the transition to becoming independent adult coaches.
This program equips Junior Coaches with the knowledge and hands-on experience to become valuable members of their gym or studio teams while fostering personal growth and coaching skills.
